Abstract
This systematic review endeavors to investigate the extent of nutritional knowledge and related factors among individuals diagnosed with diabetes. A meticulous and methodical inquiry was conducted across various international electronic databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, alongside Persian electronic databases such as Iranmedex and the Scientific Information Database. Employing keywords derived from Medical Subject Headings such as "knowledge", "diabetes", and "nutrition", the search encompassed literature up to February 1, 2024. The quality assessment of the studies incorporated in this systematic review was conducted utilizing the Appraisal Tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (AXIS tool). A total of 8,779 diabetic patients across fourteen cross-sectional studies were included in the analysis. The evaluation of nutritional knowledge among diabetic patients yielded a mean score of 53.90 out of 100. Numerous factors, including age, level of education, occupation, attitude, and family history of diabetes, demonstrated significant correlations with the nutritional knowledge of diabetic patients. Thus, policymakers and health administrators must prioritize interventions targeting these factors to enhance nutritional literacy among diabetic populations. Collaboration and support from healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, are instrumental in achieving this objective.
